I stayed here for the week. Actually, we only planned to stay Friday through Monday, but we stayed for a few extra days because my air conditioner at my house went out. It's a Good Sam participating campground, in hind site we should've paid the $25 to join the club to receive the discount.
Our site was #49 and had a large green space and was pondside. The view was gorgeous! The geese would fly in toward the pond over and over and it was absolutely magnificent. One of the downsides to that spot, though, was that it was beside of the recreation congregating area. On one night, they had movie playing in that area, which made for a less than peaceful campfire experience for us that night. The next day there was some sort of family reunion or group event with a ton of people, again causing site #49 to be less than peaceful.
This was one of the busiest campgrounds that I've been to. Usually the majority of the campground leaves on Sunday morning, not here. It was even busy on the weekdays. The non pondside sites were very close to each other and the gravel sites were very short.
It's in Georgetown, but not near as close to Lexington as the Kentucky Horse Park campground. I won't knock them for that, but what I will knock them for is faulty electric hookups. The breaker blew three times in one day, in the 90+degree weather. My dad came down from Winchester to GTown to my rescue. For the record, I did "report it" and was told that had been reported about that site before and one employee was almost confrontational about it. We've camped at countless campgrounds (as you can see from my Yelp list https://www.yelp.com/list/happy-camper-bardstown-3 ) using everything electrical else that we did that day and never had this happened before. Another downer was that we were told that the only way to avoid it from happening over and over, was to not use certain things. So we decided to switch the hot water heater from electric to propane. When my husband got "home"hours after my fiasco and our 16 year old fur girl was still panting and it was still humid inside, he decided to address the issue with the owner. The owner came to the RV and was very nice and gracious about the situation, but didn't handle it with any compensation and mostly used the excuse that it was an issue with our RV.
I did appreciate that they disclosed upfront that wifi is "limited". Which we later found out that meant that the highspeed internet resets on the 7th of each month. So if you're staying near the end of the month or just before the 7th, your chances at wifi access is more limited. Thank goodness for my personal hotspot data. read more
